"never piloted before, and doesn't even have a full context of what is going on around him"

Amuro is literally the archetype for "get in the fucking robot" kid: the only one who can save the world is a child soldier who has the duty of being such thrust on him by adults.

get in the fucking robot

Shinzo Abe "have sex" is also weirdly applicable.

Not just any cop mind you but an officer in a unit that was carrying out genocide so like an ss officer or something. But it figures these tourists didn't watch Zeta.

Don't forget that he punched the cop because he was misgendered

Anime already had to dumb itself down so much to pander to ungrateful westerners.

Maybe westerners would be better off sticking to The Office or South Park? Anime clearly isn’t for them.

Both those are woke because there's black and gay people in them. Obviously South Park's creators are too PC.

I thought witch from mercury was the political gundam or did they forget about that one?

It was the first one with queer protagonists... Oh wait, no, that was 0079 again.

Zeta starts with a teen punching a cop and ZZ ends with a teen punching a cop - it's like poetry, it rhymes
